Nate Brooks
Product Advisor · Digital Forensics
Authenticity isn't a vibe. It's math with a witness.
Nate spent fifteen years in digital forensics: imaging drives, authenticating messages, and testifying about metadata in cases where the fight over whether evidence was real swallowed the fight over what it proved.
On the council he pressure-tests the sealed record: ingestion integrity, hash-chain design, and the FRE 902(13) and 902(14) workflows that let electronic evidence authenticate itself.
His standard is simple and unforgiving: the seal has to satisfy the examiner on the other side, because that's who it exists for.
What they watch for
- Ingestion and imaging integrity
- FRE 902(13)/(14) self-authentication
- Surviving the opposing expert
